Back From Fishin'

Today's crew, Sarah and Ben, a young couple from St. Mary's County and Case, a New Jersey angler.

With the Striped Bass closure in effect, Pete was looking for Redfish and Bluefish schools by running south along the eastern channel edge using side scan sonar primarily. There were no working birds to be found.
He located a school of blues on the way south, and we caught more than enough, and I and Sarah also picked Spanish Mackerel to boot. On the way back up, Pete located what he thought was a school of Redfish on the sonar, but Ben caught this 37 inch Cobia. I was jealous. 
Hooper Island light. It looks a little fixed up, now that it's in private ownership. There were no fish here.
